But Kate, what about all those bulldozers they’re selling to Venezuela? ~:D
No one buys American anymore, they’ve sold off, offshored, or allowed patent infringements all over the world.
China isn’t building it’s cities and bridges to nowhere with Made in America, neither is Japan or South East Asia.
After the globe unwinds it’s positions in US dollars, and Obamba floods the US with millions of cheap third world laborers, he’ll hop a plane and settle into a billionaires lifestyle in somewhere like Brazil.
Mission accomplished.
BTW – dollars to doughnuts that the +4.27% attributed to Africa exports is paid on subsidies and your tax dollars.
That’s not a boom, it’s welfare and skimming from trough.
Hey all I went on a rant and if you have moment it may be of interest;

Am always amazed at the little attention attributed to Canada by U.S.A. publications. Here we see the typical slide-by of Canada with five times the $ volume of the next highest $ volume and close to the total $$ as the top next nine.
Gosh all mighty what would the volume have been if the Americans had not been fighting every effort to export to the U.S.A. such as “Oil Sands” recovered from Natures biggest oil spill. (the environmentalists would have sued the Canadian/Alberta Governments if they just let this “dirty” oil lay there).
When I say dirty oil I mean like one may have to wash their hands dirty. Not dirty like the revenue from “offshore” sources of oil fund terrorism and has been doing so long, before 911. You know the event where Canadians also lost their lives and our furthest Eastern Province, Newfoundland sheltered and fed thousands of American Tourists when hundreds of Airlines had their flights directed to land there. By the way y’all do know the person in charge of this maneuver was a Canadian Air Force Officer who was the NORAD Commander on that day.
What about Canadian soft wood exports to the U.S.A. the perennial “kick ball” whenever there is some reason to put the Canadians “in their place”. It wouldn’t be because one former donkey POTUS has or did have U.S.A. soft wood production as a significant source of personal income.
How about all we now hear is how the Brits are America’s closest friends, even though they have not stepped up to Middle East and Ukraine situations with Air Support. This while the “Spin stops here” news reader is ignorant as well as the rest of the American News Readers are ignorant, of the supplies being ferried to the Ukraine and that there have been Canadian Troops in the Middle East for over a month.
Another “By the Way” The Canadian Government has cancelled all passports for the individuals who left Canada to serve with the Middle East Terrorist Groups. How is that working for you folks?
Mentioning the Brits brings to mind the relief they are now feeling with the fact the English part of the Brits has a second chance at not sticking their fingers “in the eyes of the very first Colonials e.g. Scotland; Ireland-North; and Wales.
Seems to me many of the American Oil Interest funding of environmentalist groupies think Canada is going to continue sitting on our hands as used to happen with former “dithering'” Canadian Governments. It isn’t happening!
We now have a very steady Conservative leader from our Western Provinces leading this country back from it’s disastrous flirtation with “Cradle to Grave” Progressivism. Another fact it is our Prime Minister who stood down the usual European “anti-zionism-read-anti-semitism” of the European collection of leaders. He has been mentioned as the best National Leader on the Current World Stage, naturally this hasn’t been brought to your attention.
As mentioned above, sitting on our hands waiting for the Americans to tell us we can go ahead with projects isn’t the Canadian Way any longer. Not even when a U.S.A. Governor plagiarizes our Prime Ministers slogan about being the World’s Energy Super Power. No! you see we know Canada is no longer the U.S.A.’s closest neighbour and friend and we are not just set aside, we have been set adrift.
Do y’all know China has established massive oil leases along the NORTHern border of Canada. The Arctic area which Russia is trying to claim for itself. The NORTHern neighbour of Canada. We with only 35 million people in the second largest area country facing off with 125 million people in the largest area country.
Except now there is a country with mucho U$ and a population of 3.5 Billion people which has a significant interest in the neighbourhood. Just maybe the present POTUS should have waited until becoming a Past POTUS before breaking understandings like the other donkeys.
This comment has obviously become a Rant. I feel better, maybe you will feel better if some or all of this rant is sent onto your Congressman. Maybe He/She will stop sitting on their hands when the special interests come knocking. Cheers;
